Fantômas II: Juve versus Fantômas (Juve contre Fantômas)
Fantômas III: The Murderous Corpse (Le Mort Qui Tue)
Fantômas is the first famous film criminal mastermind. He uses disguises, gentleman's charm, and vicious ruthlessness to terrorize Paris. This episode is adapted from the first Fantômas novel - a translated edition is here.
In this first episode he robs a princess, and then is suspected of involvement in the disappearance of a Lord Beltham.
The blog post "How to watch FANTÔMAS, and why" points out:
The Fantômas films are often thought of as a serial, but they are really long installments in a series, somewhat like our Bond and Bourne franchises. A “feature” film at the period might run fifty to seventy-five minutes. As with our franchises, there are recurring characters. The films pit police inspector Juve and the journalist Fandor against Fantômas and his accomplices, notably the treacherous but passionate Lady Beltham.

Subject: Juve...
Subject: Juve...
Fantômas is the first famous film criminal mastermind. Like all criminal masterminds, he is pursued by a shrewd and determined detective - Inspector Juve.
...
But unlike other police detectives in film, Juve is no hero, no pompous know-it-all. Yet, unlike noir private detectives, Juve isn't portrayed as an antihero. Juve is simply a loser - a loser who is unstylish, seems to have no family or love life, and tends toward despondence and chain-smoking.
In short, Juve is the soul of this flick, giving it its uniquely modern feel. And, for those of us that normally root for the bad guys, Juve is the only detective we can comfortably cheer for - because we know he will lose.
